Clear Proof that You are Saved, or Not [podcast]
Those who truly know, love, and worship God obey Him as an expression of their love and relationship with Jesus (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6). These are abiding in Christ truly and will be persecuted for it!
Persecution for Christ’s sake is the occasion of great rejoicing! (Matthew 5:10-12)
PROOF that a person is divinely blessed – “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets” (Luke 6:22-23).
Ever look around you at those who are at ease, seeming to suffer little or nothing? Jesus addresses just that:
“But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Luke 6:24-26 (also read Psalms 73)
YOU claim to be following Jesus and no one hates you??? Do you know Him? (Matthew 10:22; Luke 6:26)
IF you are being attacked it’s probably because you are right smack in the middle of God’s will! Bam!
“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.” 1 Peter 4:12-14
Never mind the self-serving greedy wolves who teach people they are “blessed and highly favored” based on financial standing or just to go around for their own selfish glory! Jesus taught differently than these modern charlatans (2 Peter 2:1-3). The Son of God tells us that the proof of being blessed of Him is receiving persecution for His Name and Gospel’s sake! “Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
When your life in Christ threatens Satan enough he will begin making up lies about you. He will attack in order to try to slow you down just like he did in the days of Nehemiah when they were building the wall. Like Nehemiah and his band of disciples, we are instrumental and being used of the Master to build His kingdom (1 (Corinthians 3:6-9). When persecuted, “Rejoice”! – “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12). Always stand with your brothers and sisters when a “false report” comes up about them. In fact, expect that it will since Jesus promised it would! See Matthew 5:11. Never partake in any fashion with a “false report,” especially involving a member of Christ’s body (Exodus 23:1-2).
Not being attacked? Perhaps you should “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” See 2 Corinthians 13:5.
NEVER mock the man or woman of God who is being persecuted, slandered, and afflicted. You should envy them instead and wonder why more persecution isn’t coming your way, right? Kingdom perspective. “Examine yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5).
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” 2 Timothy 3:12
ONE of the reasons staying in God’s Word is so vital is because it keeps you in a kingdom mindset!
Clear Proof You are Not Saved
Does everyone love you?
Is that your goal?
Or, is your goal to please God?
“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Luke 6:26
Those who are loved by the world are not saved. “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” (John 15:19).
Jesus promised:
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22
IF your pastor or favorite celebrity preacher never mentions this warning from Jesus, you know you are being played and exploited by one of Satan’s wolves who are making merchandise of you (2 Peter 2:1-3)! Run!
“If the world ever starts talking good about me, I’m in trouble!” – CL
Proof of Salvation is Seen in the Fruit of Obedience – Good Works and Holy Living
So you claim to be Christ’s and yet spend all of your money, your resources on the god of self? What does this fruit reveal? (Matthew 6:19-24; 7:16)
As it was when John the Baptist preached to the false religionists of his day, lame moral coward counterfeits hate when they are called to man-up and render real repentance and the fruit of good works to prove it (Matthew 3:7-10).
JESUS never said to assess people by who THEY think THEY are or who they claim to be, but rather to know (discern) them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16, 20). As Christ foretold, there are so very “MANY” who believe they are saved yet their fruit says otherwise (Matthew 7:16, 20-29, etc.). Those who are not building their lives on the Word – adherence to it – are as sure for Hell as if they were already there, regardless of their own claim to be saved (Titus 1:16). “MANY” (not a few) will say “Lord, Lord” on Judgment day and will hear “depart from me” (Matthew 7:21-23).
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16
Beware of the lascivious grace-perverting wolves who will call this “works salvation.” As soon as God requires something of them – for them to truly repent and lay down their lives – it’s all of a sudden “works salvation,” legalistic preaching. SMH at the grace-perverting devils whom Jude warned us about and informed us are “ungodly men” (Jude 3-4).
The lascivious, “once saved always saved (OSAS)” and calvinistic devils tell others that God requires nothing at all of them after He saves them. But that is clearly a false gospel, another gospel, and they are “accursed” for preaching it (Galatians 1:6-9). Ridiculous. In His Word the LORD gives us initial and ongoing personal responsibilities which if not met, one loses out (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; 25:1-13, etc.). Jesus commanded those He saves to “abide” – to remain in Him to the end or perish (John 15:1-6).
Read your King James Bible daily and discover the myriad of divine truths that modern beguilers refuse to preach. You are personally responsible and will be brought into full accountability for such at the judgment soon to come. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT?

By Stacy Strother
AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT!?
The Bible doesn’t mention AI by name, but its warnings about deception, control, and false images in the last days speak directly to the dangers technology could bring.
Look at Revelation 13:14-15 (KJB):
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles… saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast… And he had power to give life unto the IMAGE of the beast, that the IMAGE of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the IMAGE of the beast should be killed.”
In the original Greek, “IMAGE” (eikon) means a likeness, simulation, or even an artificial representation. The text says this image is given “breath” (pneuma) so it can speak. Today, that sounds like AI—an artificial system that can “speak” and even influence or control people, becoming something people look to for answers or even authority.
REFUTE THIS PLEASE!
Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24 (KJV):
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect.”
The Greek for “deceive” (planao) means to lead astray or seduce—exactly what can happen if the masses start trusting an AI system that doesn’t actually know truth, only what’s common or popular.
Almost sounds like cultish celebrity followings, right?
Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1, 7 (KJB):
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come… Ever learning, and NEVER ABLE to COME to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH.”
This describes our world—where knowledge explodes, but discernment and real truth get lost. AI can gather endless information but cannot provide spiritual wisdom, EVEN THOUGH, people will flock to it to get it!
Daniel prophesied in Daniel 12:4 (KJB):
“…Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
The Hebrew word for “knowledge” (da‘ath) means skill and discernment, but today we see more INFORMATION than ever—without the FOUNDATION of truth.
All of these passages warn us: the last days will be MARKED by artificial IMAGES, persuasive DECEPTION, and overwhelming INFORMATION without wisdom.
AI fits right into this picture—a tool that could be used by the “beast system” to control, deceive, and subtly SHIFT doctrine AWAY FROM the truth.
AGAIN—It’s a reminder to walk in the Spirit and test everything by God’s unchanging Word, not by artificial intelligence.
Stay Blessed!
If you are not ready to meet the Lord, please call on Him today and then pray for wisdom and discernment!
Blessings!

Despicable Dogs and Stabbing Swine [podcast]

Matthew 7:6
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
God’s wisdom is that you have to get rid of the “SCORNER” in order to get rid of the “STRIFE”.
“Cast out the SCORNER, and contention shall go out; yea, STRIFE and reproach shall cease.” Proverbs 22:10
How do we know when someone has truly repented?
“… to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.” Acts 26:20
When someone has truly repented, their changed life will be full of the fruit of the Spirit.
“Bring forth fruits meet for repentance” simply means prove you’ve repented with the corresponding restitution of making things right (Matthew 3:7-10; Luke 19:8-9, etc.).
Luke 17
1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
“And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:2
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16
Jesus saw the heart and proof of Zacchaeus’ repentance and granted him salvation.
“And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:8-10

Rich in Faith [podcast]

“Them that Love Him”
——WHAT one temporarily has in this fleeting world or doesn’t have, has NOTHING to do with that person’s spiritual state. This is what Jesus taught: “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15) In fact James says:
“HEARKEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, HATH NOT GOD CHOSEN THE POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH, AND HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM WHICH HE HATH PROMISED TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM?” JAMES 2:5
James says God chooses those for His eternal kingdom “that love him,” namely “the poor of this world.” We are justified by “faith” and not by what we do or do not temporarily possess in this fleeting life.
IF in your mind you rate people by what they have or don’t have in this fleeting sinful world, you are deeply deceived and in utter need of repentance and the washing of water by the Word of God. You are carnally minded (Romans 8:5-6).
Regrettably, it seems that most people professing to be following Christ, the One who gave all, are not the least bit concerned if their brother or sister has a need. God have mercy upon us and grant us repentance in Jesus’ Name! Are these people truly saved?
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19
“If we are in Jesus we have the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8). Unfathomable (in our small minds), infinite wealth and spiritual blessings! Endless mercy, grace, and forgiveness. That is inexhaustible! Why do we need any worldly riches that will rot and corrupt our hearts!? Lay up in your hearts God’s riches! Which are eternal!” Karen Cochran
Some have tens of thousands in the bank and could care less to find out if a sister or brother has a need. The Bible assures us that they are not saved. If you have even a little to give and don’t, it’s because you simply have chosen not to know and abide in Christ.
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17
The financial institutions and their salesmen are vying for your money. They want your money to invest so that you and they earn a financial gain in this life. Christians in need, orphans, and Gospel workers are also available to invest in. To help them is to invest in the LORD’s kingdom and be repaid dividends for eternity. Oh, and your heart will follow where you choose to place your money. Jesus says “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
PRAYER: Holy Father, please break me and make me Your authentic follower. Jesus I love You. Let me walk as You walked, live as You lived, love as You love. Bless this life You gave to be truly crucified with You – dead, buried, and raised up – a vessel of honor for Your glory! In Jesus’ name.
